    Change of career sees me now working as a domestic/commercial electrician so looking to buy a van, however do like the VW Caddy maxi BUT wandering what would be the smallest van that could possibly take 2 bikes (track days etc) ... Any experiences or recommendations would be gladly received :Banane21:

    I have a SWB ford transit although its tight with 2 bikes (3 crossers poss 4), stands,wow, gear etc it does all fit.

    Mines a 52 plate 2 grand badboy, although it doesnt look much its never missed a beat
